Leviticus 12

1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

上主訓示梅瑟說：

2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, A woman when she gives seed, and has borne a male, then she has been unclean [for] seven days; she is unclean according to the days of separation for her sickness;

「你告訴以色列子民說：若一婦人分娩，生一男孩，七天之久，她是不潔的；她不潔有如經期不潔一樣。

3 and in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin is circumcised;

第八天，應給孩子割損。

4 and she abides in the blood of her cleansing [for] thirty-three days; she does not come against any holy thing, and she does not go into the sanctuary, until the fullness of the days of her cleansing.

此外，她還要守度三十三天的潔血期。在未滿取潔的日期以前，不可接觸任何聖物，不可走近聖所。

5 And if she bears a female, then she has been unclean [for] two weeks, as in her separation; and she abides by the blood of her cleansing [for] sixty-six days.

若生一女孩，兩星期是不潔的，有如經期一樣。，此外還要守度六十六天的潔血期。

6 And in the fullness of the days of her cleansing for son or for daughter she brings in a lamb, a son of a year, for a burnt-offering, and a young pigeon or a turtle-dove for a sin-offering, to the opening of the Tent of Meeting, to the priest;

一滿了取潔的日期，不拘為兒子或女兒，她應在會幕門口交給司祭一隻一歲的羔羊，做全番祭；一隻雛鴿或一隻斑鳩，現作贖罪祭。

7 and he has brought it near before YHWH, and has made atonement for her, and she has been cleansed from the fountain of her blood; this [is] the law of her who is bearing, in regard to a male or to a female.

司祭將祭品奉獻在上主面前，為她型贖罪禮，她纔算由流血的狀況中潔淨了：以上是關於生男或生女得婦人的法律。

8 And if her hand does not find the sufficiency of a sheep, then she has taken two turtle-doves or two young pigeons, one for a burnt-offering and one for a sin-offering, and the priest has made atonement for her, and she has been cleansed.”

但若她的財力不夠辦一隻羔羊，可帶兩隻斑鳩或兩隻雛鴿：一隻獻作全番祭，一隻獻作贖罪祭。司祭位他行贖罪禮，她就潔淨了。
